note on wombat

[brian moseley <bc...@maz.org>]

for those of you who were at the presentation this morning
and wanted more info on wombat - here are the urls:

  http://libservlet.sourceforge.net
  http://wombat.sourceforge.net

i'm working really hard on getting everything pulled
together so you can download and run the thing. the actual
distributions aren't available yet (the links on the wombat
front page are dead), but they should be by the end of the
weekend (once i get back from the conference and have some
time to clean up some things). i'll post a msg to the
modperl and wombat lists when it's all ready.

oh and, thanks again for showing up and having patience :) i
just can't seem to get my shit together for these
presentations.. and half an hour REALLY isn't enough time to
give a good overview.

hey, sorry i haven't replied before now. got all caught up
in work stuff when i returned from the conference.

you have a very good set of basic questions. i'm going to
use them as the basis for an faq :)

i'm leaving tomorrow for gencon (WOO!!), but i'll be back
next week, and i have the whole next month and a half free.
you'll get your answers then :)

Unfortunately I wasn't at the preso, but I've looked at the slides you've
got up on your site.

But... I don't get it :-( Where does this fit--it's all very new to me?

Is it another templating engine? ;-) Is it a session manager? Is it solving
some other problem that I haven't come across yet?

In the preso you mention an IMAP layer. What is this, and how would it work?
Would it provide an IMAP server, or is it an interface to an existing IMAP
server?

Sorry for the dumb questions--from the web site it all sounds intriguing,
but it's gone straight over my head!
